As I promised, here is the second part of the photos of my "Family Travelling Journal" - my part of the travelling art journals project we are launching for the second time just now:)
I'm very excited, waiting to see what will happen with the family photos I put in the envelope in the back...
I can't wait to see the again - in the new surroundings, interpretations... this is one and only chance to get a priceless treasure with not only our family memories but also my art friends talents closed inside of the very old book!
So, here is what I did to the book - I didn't want to cover the beautiful old pages with paint: there were beautiful old stamps, handwritten notes, underlined texts... So I only added a bit here and there!

Starting pages:
Page with title and first family photo ( with baby Finn ;))
And the inspirational page - information about the project. I decided to use only 2 colors of ink on the pages - and a very soft pencil, not more! Starring: my dad, Krzysiek in the age about... 20?

Let's create together this family album - one you go through with a cup of tea or coffee in your hand. Let's write a completely new story...

Strona z babciami przepiękna, tajemnicza i nieco mroczna...najbardziej działa mi a wyobraźnię.
Poza tym piękne i proste połączenie kolorów- kawy i zieleni!

Superb Finn...
Czy wzięłaś pod uwagę, że pewna obśliniona z zachwytu psychopatka może Ci go nie oddać? :D
Żartuję, oddam (chyba... :P) :D
Baby Finn jaka zdziwiona :)
So atmospheric, love what you have done with it : )
This to me makes much more sense of journalling. I love that you can be less formal than with scrapbook layouts with your family photos. Such a beautiful project. Hugs, Buttons x
